A storage system that does not lose data when power is removed from it. Intended to refer to core, ROM, EPROM, flash memory, bubble memory, or battery-backed CMOS RAM, the term is occasionally used in reference to disk subsystems as well.
Memory that retains the information stored in it even if you turn off the computer. There are two kinds: ROM and NVRAM. ROM is programmed with information at the factory, and you can't change it. NVRAM is used to store configuration information, and you can changed it with modem commands.
Random Access Memory that has backup power and does not lose its data when the power is turned off.
Refers to data storage that retains information even if power to it is ceased. Examples of nonvolatile memory are hard drives, CD-ROMS, DVDS, floppy disks, tape, optical storage, super and zip disks.
User-programmable random access memory whose data is retained when device power is turned off. NVRAM is used in USRobotics modems to store a user-defined default configuration. This data is loaded into random access memory (RAM) at power on.
A user-programmable random access memory which retains data when power is turned off. On some modems, it includes four stored phone numbers and the modem settings.
A memory that retains information if power is removed and then reapplied. SRAM and flash are examples of nonvolatile memory
A general term for all forms of solid state (no moving parts) memory that do not lose their contents when the power source is removed. This includes all forms of read-only memory (ROM) such as programmable read-only memory, erasable programmable read-only memory, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory, and flash memory.
Memory that does not lose its contents when power is removed from the computer; includes ROM, flash memory, and CMOS. 4.16, 7.3
Memory that will keep storing its information without the need for electrical power.
